Suitcase life

It's been two months since I've been away from home, two months I've been shuttling my suitcase(s) back and forth. This reminded me of one of life's greatest lessons - the lesson of impermanence. Buddhist doctrines tell us that everything is constantly in flux and nothing is permanent. It has been a challenging, humbling, and exciting experience for me. It was also a nice practice for me because I realized that some things which I thought I cannot live without, I can actually manage to survive without them.

Now, I'm moving again and looking forward to living another chapter of my life.
